Norwegian Public Roads Administration has been commissioned by the Norwegian Government to develop the National Tourist Routes, consisting of 18 selected stretches of road passing through Norway's beautiful and varied scenery. Jarmund / Vigsnæs Architects was commissioned to develop the destination at Steinsdalsfossen, Hardanger. The project consists of a parking area with tourist information and a restroom facility in addition to a footpath leading to a waterfall. A concrete wall mediates the level-difference between the road and the parking surface and is the spine of the project. |
